Angela Shaw brings a rich, varied background of service and lived experience to her work as a life coach. Born and raised in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, Angela moved to California in her late twenties in search of new beginnings — a leap of faith that speaks to her deep understanding of change and reinvention. She holds a degree in Political Science with a minor in Sociology from Bowling Green State University, and her career has been rooted in advocacy and support for others: from serving as a Juvenile Probation Officer in Cuyahoga County, to working directly with youth and families in the mental health field across Los Angeles, to managing a program supporting individuals with disabilities for over 20 years. Most recently, Angela has worked with a law firm representing people impacted by the Eaton Fire, helping others navigate loss and rebuild. A married mother of one, Angela understands firsthand the balancing act of family, career, and personal growth. Her diverse experience gives her a unique, compassionate perspective — she doesn’t just coach from theory, but from a lifetime of walking alongside people through change, challenge, andn transformation
